∙ 13y agoArachnids are arthropods such as Spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites.
Arthropods are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone. Arthropods have an external skeleton (exoskeleton) and limbs with joints.
Arachnids have four pairs of legs and two other pairs of 'limbs' which are modified for different functions. These are the chelicarae ("jaws"), used for feeding and defence, and pedipalps, used for feeding, locomotion and sometimes reproduction.
They also do not have antennae ("feelers") or wings. Their body is divided into two parts: a prosoma (or cephalothorax - combined head and thorax) bearing the legs and an opistosoma(or abdomen).
